Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 2
I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
我又穿上了我的旧破衣裳，钻进了我的糖桶，感到自由自在，心满意足。
But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable.
但是汤姆·索亚找到了我，说他要组建一个强盗帮，如果我愿意回到寡妇那里规规矩矩地生活，就可以入伙。
So I went back.
于是我就回去了。
The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it.
寡妇为我哭泣，叫我可怜的迷途羔羊，还叫了我许多别的称呼，不过她并没有恶意。
She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up.
她又让我穿上那些新衣服，我只觉得浑身发汗，浑身不自在。
Well, then, the old thing commenced again.
唉，那一套老规矩又开始了。
The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time.
寡妇摇铃叫吃晚饭，你必须准时到场。
When you got to the table you couldn't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn't really anything the matter with them,—that is, nothing only everything was cooked by itself.
到了餐桌旁，你不能马上动筷子，得等寡妇低下头，对着饭菜咕哝一番，其实那饭菜并没有什么不好——只不过每样东西都是单独烹制的罢了。
In a barrel of odds and ends it is different; things get mixed up, and the juice kind of swaps around, and the things go better.
要是把各种东西混在一个桶里就不同了；东西搅和在一起，汤汁互相交融，味道就更好了。
